The Book Vs. The Movie – Round 6

Childfree Meetups > Childfree St. Louis
It’s the Day of The Dead, & this round’s selection has a spooky theme…
Some say the movies are always better, others will tell you that the book is always better…. Come on over & see for yourself!
In one corner, we have the book: Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury. This book has been called a masterpiece of modern Gothic literature, the paperback has 304 pages, & is available on Amazon.com for as cheap as $.75 (plus s&h, of course). It’s also readily available at your local library, I’m sure.
In the other corner, we have the movie, by the same name, & here’s what I found on it from the good people at Netflix: When a traveling carnival comes to a small town, the proprietor, Mr. Dark (Jonathan Pryce), promises to make residents’ dreams come true. But the price turns out to be steep, as those dreams slowly spiral into a nightmare. Now, two boys (Vidal Peterson and Shawn Carson) must try to fight the sinister force infesting the town. Based on a Ray Bradbury novel, this surreal psychological thriller co-stars Jason Robards, Diane Ladd and Pam Grier.
Join us at Dan & Debra’s house for The Book Vs. The Movie – Round 6 on Saturday, November 1, at 7:30pm. Please plan on reading the book before coming over to watch the movie. There is seating for about 10 people, & please feel free to bring a beverage of your choice & food to share.
